Error in Y14.1?
Error in Y14.1?
(OP)
When looking at roll-size sheets; G sheets start out at 22.5" inches wide and move to 90" max in 8.5" increments, however... that would come out to 90.5".... When looking at H,J, and K sheets, they increment from 44" or 55" to 143" or 176" in 11" increments and this adds up...
The question is why does the G sheet come out 1/2" wider than what is declared in Y14.1?
Thanks.

Table 2 on page 5.
the maximum increment accordinbg to note 2 is 5.50.

The math doesn't work out for G-size, though.
RE: Error in Y14.1?
The increments you are refering to are for copy/microfilm sizes, so the pages can be inserted into a binder.

RE: Error in Y14.1?
I agree that the standard is not making sense.
"4.2.2 G-Size Format. Segments of lengths are based on multiples of 8.5 in. for G-size format. The G-size format permits full size copies to be bound in 8.5 X 11 in. books or filed in looseleaf notebooks. See Table 2 and Fig. 2."
But if you go to "Fig. 2" they talk about first & intermediate segments being 22.5 inches, and then the last segment can be 7.5, 15, or 22.5 inches. But none of those numbers, when added up in various ways, adds up to 90 inches. I'm confused.

My personal preference is that if you can fit everything on one sheet, even if it means going to E, that's usually preferable to multi sheet drawings. Whilst not exactly a last resort I feal there's more chance of missing something having multiple sheets.
